The gold and platinum nuggets in this video were found in the hills of northern California during many prospecting adventures in many different areas. We take a look as some of these finds and where the gold was found, along with some background into each discovery. Gold is not easy to find by any means, it takes years of dedication and looking in the right places along with a little luck and much hard work to locate finds like these, but sometimes it's purely luck! Join me as I share some of my golden journeys into the mother lode region in search of gold and adventure!

The reason I subscribed to your channel is because you're not boastful, or show off with eccentricity that 'some' others tend to, and my preteen Molly and I love the friendly way you are, and your pals. We prospect in the US although we're based in the UK, mostly go bushcrafting close to gold bearing old river, so we go crevicing. Our finds have been amazing. ...When Molly found her fist gold nugget she was hooked. I'm mighty proud of her. Many thanks to you ~Wendi

I loved this video. Most refreshing to date. And you really ave the petfect tone in your voice for story telling. I'm in my late fiftys and I still metal detect and search for crystalls which is one of my many hobbies. Coming across a colonial coin or a silver Spanish coin still gives me a great thrill. My uncle and I were very close growing up and he would take me on all kinds of adventures. We prospected on his claim ( also in California), where I found many pickers and one nugget weighing over an ounce. I sold back when gold prices were at an all time high. The rest I have kept as a piece of my childhood. The largest nugget he had found on that property weighed in at 4 ounces! He never found anything that size again in that area and suspects it may have been a drop by past prospectors, as the area was heavily mined back in the early 1900s. It continued to produce flake and picker size gold during his lifetime which he panned into his mid 80's. We also found a small pocket of crystals on his land when I was 12. That search is something I still do two weeks every year. I travel to Arkansas, Carolina or New York crystal hunting for amethysts and Herkimere diamonds. My uncle once took me to Australia for my 14th birthday to stay with a friend of his who had over 600 acres of land in an area that was known for opals and gold. He and his family worked the different parts of land that produced some of the prettiest fire-opals I ever seen. That trip for 3 weeks was when I caught the bug for metal detecting too. Back then in the mid 70s, metal detectors were much different than today's. This friend had some of the highest quality equipment that was available at that time. My AT MAX is much easier to use. We detected for a week in the hill country of that land and looked for opals the other two weeks. We found both gold and opals on that trip and I still have the neckless my uncle had made out the quarter size piece of fire opal that I had found on that trip. I know and completely understand the thrill of the find you talk about. Theres nothing like it when the last of the sand is washed from your pan and the gold is revealed. We travelled all over the world seeking adventure and my uncle gave me some of best memories of my childhood. I continued to visit and pan with him in California until his death in 2008. I miss him still.

One of the best vids I have seen on this subject. Especially the locations. I have prospected this area for 12 years but quit 20 years ago as my life changed. Now I have time again to get back into it. Sounds like a metal detector is the way to go. I was doing some sniping but did not find anywhere near the size of gold you guys are. But my largest piece interestingly did come from an area out of Georgetown.

Worked church creek on a friend's claim some but I dipped my pan anywhere I could. Sluiced and dredged some too! One day I'll head back to Dalonega Ga. A mere 7 hrs north of where I call home now. Dalonega translates to yellow money in the Cherokee tribes dialect!

This's one of the best videos that I've ever seen pertaining to prospecting, very well put together. The realism is outstanding. I've been looking for mining partners, but to no prevail. My last partner got hooked on some not so nice stuff, so you know how that ended up. People that say that they really want t on learn just have the drive, let alone them asking every 5 seconds of this or that is gold, it gets on a person's nerves if you know what I mean, plus they dont like the hard work. Anyways I'd like to meet up with you guys sometime, it looks like you guys have an awesome time. Take care l, and good job on the video

25 years ago I was told about sniping, I'm going to follow my dreams, to go prospecting and to to build a home mace of straw. I was told that this guy was finding quarter ounce , to one third daily. Back then gold was $400 . I just need 2 ounces to buy a truck load of hay, enought to build two homes. 😂 just turned 65, time to follow my dreams. Happy prospecting,, wishing you great pickings.

Nice video Jerry. I hope one day to get out there for a little prospecting vacation. Being from Maine, I would be spoiled with the gold out there. There's gold here but extremely sparse. You get more in a average test pan than most here get in a wknd of hard labor. I enjoy your videos and hope you keep making them.

I'm 70 and a motorcycle would be too much even though I get around just fine though it takes a little longer. I was thinking of something similar to those old farm tote goats with a trailer. It's got to have lots of torque. Most trail bikes just don't cut it. Not sure what to look for. Of course I have to find the gold first. Of course I'm in northern California and a GPAA member.

Best gold I’ve ever seen in person in N.Cal. was baseball sized water worn quartz ‘rocks’ strewn with multiple ounces of gold metal detected in the cow pastures in Folsom next to where the old dredges worked back in the day, I saw these at a Gold show in Auburn around 96’ Personally the best I did up there was with my Whites Goldmaster V-Sat detector in one of the old hydraulic pits above Nevada City. This video makes me want to drive up there again and scratch around, but gas prices being what they are these days it’s just not worth driving from Southern to Northern California for a week of recreational prospecting.

Do you find them that clean or is this all after you did the cleaning work? I somehow always end up finding native nuggets that are as covered in all kinds of crap as can be.. lol.. I end up spending a week or two to clean them up.. My last find was a giant ugly magnetite/iron rock.. the weight was around 50g.. it was magnetic and really just didn't look that great.. but my metal detector kept giving me very very strong gold signals which was really confusing, so I took that uglyass thing home.. I sandpapered that thing multiple times, tossed it in vinegar with bicarbonate and some other acids.. After about a week that thing broke in pieces and I was about to lose my shit.. but then I noticed a fade silver color in multiple spots.. so I kept going with the cleaning work... And wow... inside of that uglyass rock I discovered 4 decent sized pieces of platinum.. total weight of about 28g.. What do we learn from this? Don't judge a rock by its cover/exterior look!!! Your platinum nugget story reminded me of this so I decided to share it... it was also my first time that I have discovered a platinum nugget..

Jerry your videos are great. I would like to know how you find out the information on the size of gold in a gold bearing area? I've looked and researched everything and nothing said the size of gold. Do please help out a Green prospector. Enjoy all the videos.
